[Gumboot]

Speaking of weirdos, I miss Globus. Hope he's OK.

He was logged on 12th Dec, so still around.

I’ll drop in here, the discourse is more friendly and rational.

I've broken my long term flounce and created an account just to say good to see you Seft, hope you're well mate, been a long time!

I’m good, married this year after years of delay and living in Southport.

How are you and the family?

Have to see if we can catch up for a Wires game in the summer.

No flounce, just tired of reading the same demented posts.

Congratulations, I also got married in the summer after a couple of years of Covid enforced delay. Finally retired from boxing two weeks ago, so what's left of my brain only has to fight booze damage now.

Family are good, about to get bigger come February - I thought why fuck about, got my PhD, married, new job, baby all in 12 months...

I'll definitely give you a bell when I'm back in the North, be good to see you again. As long as we're not playing saints.

I meant Crash, he has epic flounce potential

I just stopped posting when PR split, so not a real flounce, I just lost interest in posting really., I didn't even care enough to flounce which is a bit sad.

That's a shame. You always seemed quite rational.

The more rational people that leave, the higher percentage of irrational people that are left.

Though you do engage with the mad hatters over there quite a lot... can't you just avoid those threads?

That's my tactic. There is still the odd, interesting thread which isn't poisoned by the nutters.

Think PR reached a point quite some time back where the number of nutjobs was just too high to make staying there worthwhile, let alone pleasant.

It's just a forum, people are under no obligation to stick with it given all the problems. It's not like there's any way to win that battle.

They tend to avoid any thread focused on rugby, or sport in general...

Very true. It's quite amusing to watch them at play... not so much when they drag you into their games...

[troglodiet]

I figured out a way to "delete" an account without their help.

Just go into your settings, and change your email to a non-existing one.

I used aaa@bbb.com if memory serves.

There's no way to log in when you do this as the forum cannot match your login credentials to the email address you signed up with, and the software will now think there isn't a user by that name anymore.

I did it at PR to perma-flounce, and here too with my original login. I needed a break from the internet, was way too busy to spend time on here, plus I grew tired of my previous login. Registered under a new name (just here, won't bother with PR) and I was upfront with the mods that this is technically a multi.

You, Dozy and C69 are the three legs of the PR Welsh chair.

I’m good, married this year after years of delay and living in Southport.

is Southport an impediment to marriage ?

[TheFrog]

Somehow, the PR community remains the most active. It is more dynamic than on here and one of the reason I lost sight of this alternative forum initially.

Tried to engage on sensitive topics (US politics, COVID), but I am sad to realize that debating is just impossible. Both camps are quick to resort to definitive statements and insults. The notion of dialog, opportunities to learn from each other l, progress as a community is dead. The democratic values are absent.

I am really concerned because you can see the rise of these feelings and behaviors everywhere in the world, and as French elections are around the corner, I am deeply concerned at the outcome in my own country.

Don' throw in the towel, just keep plugging away Frog. This place does have a good vibe to it and conversations and disagreements are pretty civil. I hope you stick around.

Well some say that Lord Street isn't as smart as it used to be.

[Kawazaki]

The covid thread on PR has certainly flushed out a few prize turds hasn't it. What a shower of cunts the anti-vaxxers are.

PR reflects its current owners and the net as a whole. I joined in 1999 and the balance for a long time was pretty good. Now, hardly any of the original or better posters remain. Even if I had not been deleted by Jake (in another example of what's wrong with PR), I'd only be looking in on the Fre rugby threads now.

The likes of Dozy, Mick, Bimbo, Rocketz etc. do make some threads unreadable but given the vast majority of Irish fans stayed there means that unless there's a mass transfer to here there will still be more traffic and posts around Irish rugby on PR.

Yeah, even without the lunacy, threads being inevitably irished was a massive pain in the arse.

To be fair, if there was only one Irish poster left on PR there would still be more traffic than on most internet forums.

Obvious jokes aside, it's a shame - but I do wonder if a few stay because the locals help reinforce a few strongly held prejudices about English & Welsh people! :)

It's certainly true that the specimens, on PR do nothing to destroy the worst possible stereotypes
